1. RISING HEATHCARE COSTS FOR
COMPANIES PROVIDING HEALTH
COVERAGE FOR EMPLOYEES
50% of Americans report they do
not participate in any physical
activity which increases risk of
cancer in general
It is less expensive to keep a
healthy person healthy than to
treat a person’s chronic illness.
Approximately 70% of healthcare
spending is related to unhealthy lifestyle
factors– if we change these behaviors we
can reduce the risk for most
chronic illnesses
The top costs in most employer health
plans are claims related to Diabetes,
high blood pressure, high cholesterol
and heart disease– all of these can be
prevented or delayed with healthier
lifestyle practices.
WELLNESS IS A PROCESS RATHER THAN A GOAL.
IT IS NOT A PASSIVE ACT.
IT IS ABOUT MAKING DELIBERATE DECISIONS TO
ENCOURAGE OVERALL WELL-BEING.
CHANGING HEALTH BEHAVIOR ONE WISH AT A TIME
